Built to tackle any terrain, the legendary Feelgood is back as a women's winner thanks to its predictable, straightforward ride. This directional twin boasts a positive camber profile, which our testers were drawn to for its impeccable snap and accountability. "It’s got great pop and felt fun to send off anything," said one tester. After making it through the gamut of boards, testers jockeyed for the chance to ride the Feelgood. They noted it was a dependable do-it-all deck comfortable in any given scenario. From side-hits and tree jibs, to spinning off wind-lips and rallying through chunder, it proved capable of handling what was thrown at it.

Testers Said: "Hard to feel anything but good on this deck. It’s got great pop and felt fun to send off anything."

Buying a new snowboard shouldn't be an arduous task. But with hundreds of options to choose from, narrowing down options can be an overwhelming process. The internal struggle boils down to the reality that these things aren't cheap. With that in mind, Good Wood's intent has always been to best serve you in your quest to purchase the deck most deserving of your money. This season, our diverse crew of testers returned to the steeps of Snowbird, Utah for the all-mountain category and the progressive features of Carinthia at Mount Snow, Vermont for the park division. In the end, we came back with a collection of boards that are worthy of TransWorld's esteemed Good Wood stamp of approval.

How The Boards Are Scored

Shortly after ripping laps on each model, our testers score the board based on a comprehensive set of characteristics that include edgehold, pop, swingweight, turn initiation, stability, and flex. The scorecards for the park and all-mountain categories of the test each have unique and specific criteria designed to pinpoint the strengths and weakness of a snowboard in the setting respective to its category. Beyond the quantifiable scoring, we also ask testers to comments on each facet of the board’s performance. These notes we refer to extensively when writing each review. Dive into the results and see what performed for our testers, then find what will work for you.
